On with the show,
Dim the lights,
Take your seats,
And, oh yes, did I mention that our shirts are in the back?
No, no more wait,
We would hate to keep you late, so everybody show the band a complimentary hand,
Here they come again, like a puppet on a string, smiling back at you as they play and as they sing.
On the stage in the coloured lights where the moon is brightly shining,
On the stage where the dreamers dream and they'll take your hands and lead you away to a happy place.
No, it's not bad when you're sad,
I get sad too, but I know something you can do to help you make it through,
Life is a song and when you sing along things look better than before - it's what I do it for,
In a world of pain and suffering and misery, I still know a place to go where nothing touches me...
On the stage in the coloured lights where the moon is brightly shining,
On the stage where the dreamers dream and they'll take your hands and lead you away to a happy place.
Every time we come out here and play our song we look at you looking back at us,
When we're singing to you, you can sing along,
Then we know you really care,
You're the reason that we're there.
Town after town, place to place, coast to coast,
Every face I see - the same,
I didn't learn their names,
Now that we're through we're depending on you,
Take us home and play the tape,
Tell anyone we're great,
We'll be back again, yes, we hope to see you there,
Shine the coloured lights, put the fog into the air.
On the stage in the coloured lights where the moon is brightly shining,
On the stage where the dreamers dream and they'll take your hearts and lead you away to a happy place,
Away to a happy place,
They'll take you away to a brighter day,
They'll take you away to a happy place.
